You would have to go through life as Jury Nullification, which is its own punishment.

also you would be referred to as Mr. or Miss Nullification.

The simple version is that a jury has an implicit right to find the defendant not guilty no matter how obviously guilty they are as a way to protest unjust laws.

Unjust laws like occupying a federal wildlife preserve, destruction of archaeological sites/remains, theft and misuse of federal vehicles, destruction of property both federal and private....you know, obvious unjust laws

Not familiar with that idiom.

*edit* ↓ Surprise, legal concepts apply all the time and can have horrible outcomes. "Well your Honor, he killed that (black) guy but we just plain don't want to find him guilty." is no less likely than cool weed jury.

No. SAS and SPSS are still popular in a bunch of places, for being easier to use, and where there isn't a course structure dedicated to teaching people R coding.

Honestly I'm not sure that's worse.

For anyone that has to use R, a basic number without any decimal is actually a length one vector of double precision floats, you're welcome. This also applies to character strings so 'foo' has length 1 :downs:. Also if you use matrices of different lengths in an operation it'll silently pad the shorter one out by having it repeat itself, because that's helpful and not going to create horrifying bugs. Also get in the habit of checking the source for things that make functions freak out because niceties like documenting what inputs cause an error rarely happen.

There's an interesting American Splendor comic where Harvey Pekar goes to jury duty and is a potential jurist on a case for something minor like pot possession, and he was able to get out of it after expressing reservations with minimum sentencing. He felt that even if he was upholding the law he still had objections to the implementation of it. Dunno how true it is to what happened, or how things have changed since the 70's, but that was the story.

Like there's better ways to express dissatisfaction with the legal process and your mandated part in it than being Edgy McEdgelord and going all smuggo as you sneer out the words "jury nullification."

That's extra fitting given this whole Oregon bullshit started with someone getting re-sentenced because of mandatory minimums, which I don't agree with except in cases of rape, murder, and DUI (because too many people get off too easy on the first and last).

Two and half years in Federal prison seems kind of on the light side here for one of the main players. Is that the max we can expect for the Bundiy clan if they force this to trial? They'd be out before all of the appeals are even finished. I thought they were going to make more of a example out of these fuckers.

You can bet that any plea deals involved turning on the Bundy clan. No, they're going to throw the book at them for both Bunkerville and Malheur and they're using the others to sell them out. The Feds have experience dealing with mafiosos and terrorists by having the underlings turn on the big man that some podunk insurrectionists aren't going to escape them.

Even the language used in Ritzheimer's statement is being made that Bundys weren't equals among them, but leaders, hence the comment about him clearing out the reserve before Ammon Bundy was to arrive. They're making it look like he was some conquering commander.

Also, linked from that article: Roseburg Boy Names Prize Steer After Slain Refuge Occupier

quote:

A 10-year-old Roseburg boy has honored one of the occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by naming his prize-winning steer after him.

The News-Review reports that a 1,030-pound black Maine-Anjou named LaVoy Finicum earned third-place at the Douglas County Fair. The steer is named after Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, the Arizona rancher killed by law enforcement during the occupation. In March officials declared the shooting justified.

The steer was named by Ryley Schneider, who says Finicum was a hero for standing up against government overreach. Schneider used his time at the fair to talk to people about Finicum. He handed out pocket-sized copies of the U.S. Constitution to police officers.

Schneider says he hopes to donate some of his prize money to Finicum’s wife.

And that steer is going to suffer the same fate as Lavoy: being third-rate and going to slaughter.

Man, seeing the kids brought up on this brainwashing is always depressing. The kid is nowhere near old enough to have any idea what he's talking about beyond what his parents spoonfeed him, but he's already spewing their favorite garbage, venerating their martyr, and passing out their magical documents, so he's got next to no chance of growing up with a healthy outlook.

I'm kind of curious as to what kind of testimony the Feds really need for so many plea deals. Surely they have enough to bury the Bundys in the deepest pits they have already?

The Feds know they can easily nail Cliven, and probably all his idiot sons, hard enough to keep them in prison for decades and it'd be nice if they actually did just that considering the whole "armed standoff against law enforcement and openly encouraged violence against the BLM and its employees" thing. They're a family of domestic terrorists and need to be dealt with as such.
